105.06 SEPARATION OF YARD WASTE REQUIRED. All yard waste shall be separated by the owner or occupant from all other solid waste accumulated on the premises and shall be composted or burned on the premises, placed in City-approved bags and set out for collection by the City, or deposited at the City disposal site. As used in this section, “yard waste” means any debris such as grass clippings, leaves, garden waste, brush, and trees. Yard waste does not include tree stumps.

The City recently was charged approximately double ($400 vs. $200) for weekly landfill fees due to the contamination of yard waste in the garbage collected in our community and dumped at the Black Hawk County Landfill. Please separate your yard waste from your regular garbage! Citations may be issued for property owners/renters in violation of this ordinance (105.06).
